The Cape Girardeau Roller Girls are headed over to Paducah, Ky., this weekend to play the West Kentucky Rockin' Rollers in Jamfomers: Derbots in Disguise. This should be a fun rematch after the Floodwall Skate Brawls here in Cape where WKRR beat CGRG by a narrow margin of 61-55. In a game where you can score more than a dozen points in a jam, 6 points is definitely a close one.
The bout will be Saturday at the Paducah Regional Sportsplex. Doors open at 6, derby starts at 7. Tickets are $10 at the door, and children younger than 12 get in free.
